Objective: To determine the feasibility, yield, and safety of fluoroscopic-guided aspiration of the acutely dislocated total hip arthroplasty (AD-THA).
Materials And Methods: IRB-approved, retrospective review of fluoroscopic-guided aspirations of AD-THA (January 2005-December 2023) was performed. Data from electronic charts and fluoroscopy images/reports were obtained.
Article Synopsis
- Low back pain affects up to 84% of people and is the top cause of disability in the U.S.; sacroiliac joint dysfunction accounts for 10% to 38% of these cases.
- A thorough examination of the sacroiliac joint and nearby areas is essential for diagnosing pain, using multiple provocation tests and imaging techniques for accurate results.
- Treatment options for low back pain range from non-invasive methods like medication and physiotherapy to more invasive procedures, but caution is needed as certain surgeries can lead to further degeneration of the sacroiliac joint and hip.
As powerful activators of the immune system, cytokines have been extensively explored for treating various cancers. But despite encouraging advances and some drug approvals, the broad adoption of cytokine therapies in the clinic has been limited by low response rates and sometimes severe toxicities. This in part reflects an inefficient biodistribution to tumors or a pleiotropic action on bystander cells and tissues.

An adequate interpretation of acetabular version and coverage on radiographs is essential to determine the optimal treatment strategy (periacetabular osteotomy vs hip arthroscopic surgery). The crossover sign (COS) has been associated with the presence of acetabular retroversion, and the anterior wall index (AWI) and posterior wall index (PWI) assess anteroposterior acetabular coverage.
